Tough Love

We’re beginning the first full week of the new year. So I guess you could say we are officially in 2025. Last week in this little blog I talked about New Year resolutions versus commitments. I mentioned that I wasn’t making any resolutions, but instead, I’m making commitments as they are more binding in my…

Resolution or Commitment

It’s a new year and with that comes all those New Year’s resolutions. You know those decisions we make to do or not do something for the year. The start of the new year brings new hope, a chance for a fresh start, an opportunity to do things differently. If you are like me, you’ve…

Reflections on 2024

I guess it’s pretty common to reflect on the year as it comes to a close. Or do we really reflect on what has happened? I think most of the time, we all just look forward to a new year ahead, a new beginning, and a chance for things to be different. Many times we,…

The Recipes & Memories

I’ve gotten into a little routine with our youngest daughter. We text each other pretty regularly around dinner time, sharing what we’re making for dinner. I’ll also ask her opinion on a particular spice she might use or how she would doctor up a certain dish. Last night my husband and I realized we hadn’t…

The Power of One – Not

If you’re like me it’s not really in your dna to ask for assistance. I’m a pretty resourceful person, I always say, I have an ops brain, meaning I like to solve problems. I can look at a situation, analyze it pretty quickly and my brain kicks in to how to best handle things. I’m…

God Loves You

Christmas Update-Emily Rea

Many of you have reached out to ask about sweet Emily Rea who I mention almost daily at the end of this little blog. Emily is the niece of a friend of mine and she’s been missing since July 16th when she went paddle boarding at a reservoir in Montana. We haven’t seen an update…

The Transformation

We are fortunate at our church to work with a local florist. He has been with us forever and supplies the flowers for the altar each Sunday. He also provides the decorations for the Christmas and Easter celebrations. Yesterday was the day that we transformed the church from Advent Season to Christmas and it was…

The Tea Ring

I started a new tradition this year, well let’s say I’m trying to start a new tradition this year. Actually, you could say I’m sort of picking up a past tradition and tweaking it. Years ago, when our kids were younger, we had a tradition of enjoying a Swedish Tea Ring on Christmas morning. A…

Mother Mary

After yesterday’s little blog post, I felt the need to share a song of hope. It’s one of my favorite Christmas songs, although I don’t think it should only be heard at this time of the year. This song speaks to Mary directly and asks the simple question, “Mary did you know?”. I can’t help…
